Operation
General information
∙ Note: The operating lever locks down
only when the plug is inserted.
∙ Do not use slices which are too thick or
too big, as they may become stuck in
the toaster. The thickness of the slices
to be toasted should not exceed 14 mm.
∙ In case of problems or malfunctions
during use, and before cleaning,
always remove the plug from the wall
socket.
∙ To remove a slice caught in the slot, use
a blunt wooden implement (e.g. a brush
handle). Never touch the metal heating
elements.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
Cleaning and care).
∙ Switch on the toaster without any
bread inserted and go through at least
fi ve toasting cycles at the maximum
temperature setting.
∙ Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
∙ When switched on for the fi rst time, the
toaster may emit a slight smell and a
little smoke. For that reason, adequate
ventilation should be ensured by
opening windows or balcony doors.
Automatic switch-off
This appliance comes with an automatic
switch-off feature. If a bread slice should
become stuck and cannot be ejected after
the toasting cycle is complete, the toaster
will automatically switch off. Should this
occur, disconnect the appliance from
the mains and remove the bread slice
as described in the section 'General
information'.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning can be
varied by turning the adjustable browning
control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
In the case of sliced bread specifi cally
intended for toasting, we recommend a
browning control setting of 3 to 4.
Operation
∙ Insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ After adjusting the browning control,
insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down. The
indicator lamp will go on.
∙ Once the desired degree of browning
is reached, the toaster switches off
automatically; the slices are ejected, and
can be removed once the indicator lamp
goes off.
∙ To achieve regular browning when
toasting several slices in succession,
allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90
seconds after each cycle.
∙ Do not cover the toast slot during
operation.
